Theodore High School in Theodore, Alabama, will make the academy available this year to about 70 students, according to AL.com.
The academy is expected to include a partnership with schools and several local industrial avenues, including the South Alabama Logistics Park, the Alabama State Port Authority and APM Terminals in Mobile County. Internships also are expected to be offered.
